Have you seen this dog?

A costume-wearing dog that panhandles for its owner outside New York Mets and Yankees games has animal-loving baseball fans furious and the ASPCA investigating.

The dog, named Coffee, appears in front of the two stadiums for hours -- dressed up in team gear, wearing sunglasses and holding a pipe in her mouth. She also wears a bandana around her neck, conveniently covering a remote shock collar used by the owner to keep her from lying down, say concerned baseball fans that have seen her. In a photograph taken while her mouth was open, she also appears to have no teeth.

She sometimes wears a cardboard sign around her neck that reads "I don't like cheap people," and sits next to a plastic jug with a reminder for people to leave a tip if they take a photo.

While Coffee’s owner may be avoiding MLB games for the time being, the ASPCA urges anyone who sees the dog to call their Humane Law Enforcement department at 212-876-7700 ext. 4450 or email enforcement@aspca.org.

LIES! LIES! I've seen this dog and gone over to pet him NUMEROUS times and I've NEVER seen any kind of shock apparatus around his neck. As a matter of fact I've also seen him laying down. The owner is a very friendly individual who answers any and all questions about his dog and the animal organizations he donates the money to. It's plainly obvious that this man loves his dog but most importantly the dog REALLY seems to enjoy the attention and affection he receives from the Mets fans walking by. People: STOP spreading lies and malicious gossip. Imagine what a horrible travesty it would have been if simply based on these ludicrous claims this animal would have been separated from his owner. Painful for both of them! Get a life but most of all - GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU LAUNCH ACCUSATIONS!!!!

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
